“The only place to buy “An American’s Story” now in eBook form
2010/02/01 by gus100Did the Soviets train spies in replica of an American town in Russia?
2010/01/31 by gus100The so-called “American Village” was the subject of classified messages in the 1960’s and I have every reason to believe it existed. I know that Jack Warner made a video narrated by Jack Webb on this topic and it was widely seen by intelligence and other operatives. I believe the video was ordered by the CIA. In my book “An American’s Story” the focus of my attention is on Inga Scheyk as a possible KGB agent trained in such a village.

I am asked by nearly everyone: “Is this historical fiction novel about you?” My response is this: : “It took me 50 years to sit down and write this story. I was a Cryptographer in the Navy. I did run the Crypto Center. I was in charge during the Cuban-Russian Missile Crises. And I did leave blood on the keyboard writing it; but try to remember it is a novel.”

An American’s Story – The Novel – Main Characters
2009/04/30 by gus100Gaston Delesdandroux is the young ‘officer in charge’ of the super-secret USNAS Crypto Center at NAS Jacksonville, Florida. Gaston is a reluctant hero, the product of a proud middle-class Roman Catholic family that valued tradition, an unlikely candidate for the CIA to use on what is the most important counter-espionage mission of the 1960’s. He is loving and supportive of his Creole wife Clair but also deeply entangled with Inga for nearly a decade.
Inga Scheyk is wealthy, elegant, amoral, highly educated and enticingly beautiful, but strong and independent, and the daughter of Claus. From their very first meeting, Gaston falls madly in love with Inga whose love he cannot avoid for a decade.
LTjg Terry Ness, USNAS Communications Officer, a graduate of the U.S. Naval Academy and husband of Inga. He’s angry, ineffectual and bitter because the Navy won’t let him fly anymore because of kidney stones, and his security clearances are down-graded denying him access to the Crypto Center.
Clair Duplessis Delesdandroux, the stunningly beautiful Louisiana Creole who clings to her love for Gaston despite knowing about his involvement with Inga. Clair perseveres no matter what she endures, and during the entire 10 year ordeal, she remains feminine and focused on her marriage.
Claus Scheyk, billionaire chemical and arms dealer. In the context of what we know of human beings, Claus’s qualities are arrogance, conceit, jealousy, greed and prejudice, to name a few. He is in your face, intimidating and threatening. Somehow, all of these qualities enable him to make a fortune working simultaneously for the U.S. CIA, the Soviet Union, North Vietnam and various terrorists and Communists insurgencies of the 1960’s.
Note: eBook version anticipated late May 2009 – Paperback December 2009.
An American’s Story – The Novel
2009/04/27 by gus100In 1961, Gaston Delesdandroux is a young Navy cryptographer with the highest of security clearances stationed at the U.S. Naval Air Station in Jacksonville, Florida. He is married to Clair, a stunningly beautiful Creole from Louisiana. Appointed as the ‘officer in charge’ of the USNAS Crypto Center, Gaston is recruited to become an agent for the CIA. His assignment is to determine the true identity of Inga, a beautiful, sensual but mysterious woman who is the daughter of billionaire weapons dealer Claus Scheyk. Gaston’s love affair with Inga lasted a decade. This is his story.
Written as a novel, the tumultuous sixties blend seamlessly with historical facts of the Cuban-Russian Missile Crisis, and the Vietnam War along with first-time public disclosures of current events as they were in reality in the classified messages passing through Gaston’s hands.
Gaston’s mission is to determine Inga’s origin and purpose as a possible Soviet KGB agent whose behavior is modified by Soviet behavior specialists. The story is chilling as we follow his efforts to accomplish his mission by overcoming insurmountable odds. He succeeds in exposing Inga as the most important KGB agent ever disclosed, but at a price he was not willing to pay.
Follow Gaston’s story from Jacksonville through Savannah, Washington, Helsinki and New Orleans as he battles the CIA for the truth about Inga and how in the end he succeeds in freeing Inga from the certain assassination of the CIA.
Ebook version publishing date late May or early 2009. Book version by December 2009.
